Introduction:

These lessons are geared for younger students.
Many lessons will, however, have activities for the older student. Parents/teachers
will easily find answers to questions in the text, and should prepare themselves
by reading the stated pages prior to having the student read the weekly assignment.
If a child is not able to read yet, this is still a good book, and parents/teachers
may read to the student. We have testimonies from parents of children
as young as four years old who have enjoyed listening to the story in this book.
There is truth to be learned from this story and that is the purpose of these
lessons.

Further, we realize that while we suggest
a certain number of pages for each lesson, children may want to hear the entire
story and not wait for the six weeks it will take to get through the first set
of lessons. It is okay to read the entire story to the children (Chapters
1–5). Rereading those pages as you and your children work through the
lessons will only reinforce the truths contained in the book.

Read:

Pages 16–27

Scripture reading:

Galatians 5:22–23, Ephesians 6:1

from this celebration? (Parents: try to get children to come up with Christmas,
weddings, baptism, Lord’s supper, Resurrection Sunday, birthdays, graduation,
etc.)

In a brief paragraph, describe the tribe members prepared
the hide and meat? How do we prepare foods today for storage? (e.g. canning,

similar to field hockey, with a much smaller goal.
